Stop Teaching Our Kids To Kill

Author of On
Killing, On Combat, Warrior Mindset, and Stop Teaching Our
Kids to Kill

So, the brutal,
merciless, savage mass murderer of children in CT was another in a long line of
avid video game players who turned their sick fantasy into our tragic reality.
Surprised?

I train military and law
enforcement nation-wide, on the road almost 300 days a year for 15 years.
I was an Army Ranger and a West Point Psych Professor. An author of
many very successful books on this subject. This is the perspective that
I come from...

Bottom line: From
a military and law enforcement perspective, violent video games are
"murder simulators" that train kids to kill. They act just like
police and military simulators, providing conditioned responses, killing
skills, and desensitization, except they are inflicted on children without the
discipline of military and police training.

Research on the
background of our juvenile mass murderers show they have one thing in common:
they ALL dropped out of life and filled their lives with nothing but
violent movies and violent video games. The sickest video games and the
sickest movies are very very sick indeed. And the sick sick kids who
immerse themselves in this "entertainment" are very sick indeed.

Jonesboro in the middle
school, Columbine in the high school, Virginia Tech in the college, and now this
generation gives us Sandy Hook as adults…

The Sandy Hook massacre
has been building for years. And there is much, much worse yet to come.
(They are NOT "shootings" they are massacres ... five died in the
"Boston Massacre" which touched off the American Revolution … six
murdered in the "St. Valentines Day Massacre" … many times more were
murdered in Sandy Hook and we hide the reality from ourselves by calling it a
"shooting" … "shooting" is what happens on the range … a
"shooter" is the guy who got lucky during deer season! These
are brutal mass murderers, committing savage massacres unlike anything seen in
human history.)

This has all been
building up for years. Consider the stats on officers murdered in the
line of duty in the US:

'08: 42

'09: 48

'10: 56

'11: 72

Anyone see a pattern
here? Medical technology is holding DOWN the murder rate. The
number of murdered cops should be going down every year.

These are criminals who
practiced killing cops since they were six years old, every day of their lives,
playing Grand Theft Auto, and now they are primed to kill cops as adults.

If we intentionally
tried to raise a generation cocked and primed to kill, we could not have done a
better job.

The answer?
Parents MUST enforce the rating system. They MUST understand the
danger. An "M" (mature, 17 and above ONLY) rated game is the
same as an "X" rated movie! The people who manufacture the game
say so. Their own industry says so! A "T" (teen) rating
means no child under 13 should play the game. Period. It is a very
tragic, horrendous situation when adults let their children immerse themselves
in M rated games! Just like, sex, gambling, porn, alch, tobacco, drugs,
guns, and automobiles: these are all things that adults must not give to
kids!

Not all of the kids who
play these sick games will become killers, but they will all be desensitized to
human death and suffering, intentionally and realistically inflicted by
themselves, for their own entertainment…

If YOUR child is one who
commits a brutal crime, and YOU let them play these sick games, then the blood
is on your hands too… (And YOU may well be the first one to die, as with
this most recent incident.)

This is NOT business as
usual in America. Never lose your sense of outrage that every kid in
America has to do lock-down drills, practicing "hunkering down and
hiding" for when kids come to kill them. Never lose your sense of
outrage that all of our cops practice going in our schools and shooting our
kids with "active shooter response plans." These things are
necessary, they work, they save lives and hold down the body count, but they
are not normal. This is NOT just another day in America. This is
NOT "business as usual" in America… Something is very, very
wrong.

And it is a world-wide
phenomenon! Germany has had two mass murders in their high schools with
body counts that beat Columbine. England had a massacre in the kindergarten class in Dunblain Scotland, tragically forecasting Sandy Hook.
Canada had the Taber, Alberta school massacre. Finland has had
three school massacres. In Norway the killer got on an island and killed
all their kids. In China killers are going in the classrooms with knives
and gutting and hacking the kids. In Belgium a sicko got in the day care
center and hacked 12 babies in the cribs, dressed as the Joker form the Batman
movie. (All those European gun laws made THEM real safe, eh?)

And we though it
wouldn't happen here!?

And you think its over now? The worst is yet to come.
We will reap what we sow for a generation to come…. Until we stop
teaching our kids to kill.
